Hello friends and happy June! I feel like with the new month, we can unofficially call it summer around these parts. By far my favorite clothing item in summer is a dress. Extra points if it is a striped swing dress. A striped swing dress is the perfect blank canvas without being, well, blank. For this outfit, I went simple with a statement necklace. But you could easily add a light scarf, an outer later like a blazer or cardigan, or even a simple necklace.
Can we talk about this necklace quick? I’ve had my eye on Beaded by W for awhile now and I am in love. If you have a chance, go check out the owner’s back story, it is pretty neat! I scooped this up during a sale and I’m so glad I did. How could I go wrong with turquoise beads and a neon pink tassel?
Wearing:
Old Navy striped swing dress
Abilene necklace from Beaded by W
Clarks sandals (similar)
Black tote (similar)

Swing dresses now make me think of you automatically. Also, I can totally picture you reading a book on a blanket, under a tree in a swing dress. Love that necklace too.
Swing dresses are definitely my jam. And I would totally be ok with reading a book under a tree 🙂
So loving this swing tank dress and the pop of colors from the tassel necklace is a lot of fun!

I’m loving it too!
Yes, yes, yes to this dress! I have it in the blue and black stripe. I love the heavier weight of the stretchy fabric which allows to swing just perfectly! Best dress ever for summer!

Thanks! You totally need one 🙂
That dress is really cute! I’ve never heard of a swing dress before this!
Thanks! Swing dresses are my favorite.
First, let me say that tassel necklace caught my eye immediately. When I looked closer, I also loved the way you wore it, long and like a choker, all at one time. But that pop of pink is fantastic. Your dress is breezy and perfect for summer days.
Thank you Leslie!
Great dress, and I love how you styled it with that necklace. Super cute! I really love the cut and movement in the dress. Your puppy is adorable.
